The population of 22,546 has a racial composition where white residents constitute 91% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for low diversity. The median household income in the area is $71,587.
Holly has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade. The percentage of white residents has remained stable at 90-92% from 2013 to 2022, indicating minimal demographic shifts. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with the percentage of Black residents rising from 1% to 2% and those identifying as two or more races increasing from 1% to 3% between 2013 and 2022.
The Hispanic community has maintained a consistent presence of 3-4% throughout the decade, while the Asian population has consistently represented about 1% of the total population since 2013. These subtle shifts suggest a very slow trend towards increased diversity, though not sufficient to alter the overall categorization of the community.
The median household income in Holly has fluctuated within the $70,000-$80,000 range over the past decade. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $78,533, followed by a significant drop to $71,587 in 2022. Despite these fluctuations, the median income has remained relatively stable over the decade, suggesting a consistent economic environment.
The subtle increases in diversity have not been accompanied by significant changes in median income, indicating that minor demographic shifts have not substantially impacted the overall economic landscape of the community.
The racial composition of Holly, with its overwhelming white majority, is less diverse than many urban and suburban areas across the United States. The median household income of $71,587 in 2022 is above the national median income, indicating that Holly is a relatively affluent community. The stability in both racial composition and income levels suggests that Holly may be a more established, less transient community compared to rapidly changing urban or suburban areas elsewhere in the country.
Holly has experienced subtle increases in diversity over the past decade but remains a predominantly white, economically stable community. The slow pace of demographic change and the consistent income levels suggest a community that is evolving gradually rather than undergoing rapid transformation. This stability may have implications for local policies, community services, and future development plans in the area.
